YURA's belt/sash...thing, close-up of trims

Doing the trunk on the 1st Tree in color pencils. I lost mine, but I found some strays in my little bro's room so I used them.

Arbitrarily twisted surface with triangular protrusions normal to the surface at their centerpoint. This is the current output from my paracell rig which allow for a set of cells to be populated along a group of arbitrary guide splines. The cells keep uniform spacing along guides and deform to accommodate curvature.

Now that I have a good bit of the basic infrastructure for this system created I need to start looking at cellular geometries more interesting than triangles and pyramids. It's also time to jump out of the surface play and start thinking about programming, use and their relationship to geometry.

As you know, I like to keep myself busy with lots of art projects. So after deciding that my list of things-to-do wasn’t long enough, I decided to embark on a new project. Here is a sneak-peek. What’s it going to be? Don’t worry, everything will be revealed by the end of the week! :)

Before and in progress. Panels are three layers..plywood, tentest, and cork. Drilled for hinges then covered in fabric.

An in-progress look at my Leiber piece.

Here's the final.

My main piece of work

Main stairway with carpeting removed.

Every child needs a dinasour quilt. Yes this one needs quilting too. I'll get to it.

dairy being converted in the west end

Taking a free theme and making it work in Buddypress.

(oops, massively long widget in the footer. Ignore that.)

Starting from the back this time, and not going to use white shapes.

close to finished.

This is a picture of a dinner table setting with an aerial view. The brown piece is a piece of meat, and I wanted the cow with the bar code to look like it is stamped onto the meat symbolizing it doesn't look like meat at all and its so processed. The background would be blue. It will have a hashtag to tie into my "all natural" social media campaign. Tagline: life should not be a factory, bring PEACE to the farms.

Another view of the first coat of paint and the finished fence.

time to stitch!

table with drawers inserted

In progress item for my shop. Idea and tutorial from DIY Dish. LOVE them! :)

Finally giving this wee bunny a face. I think it needs a little extra stuffing so I'm going to have to rip the seam. I think I'll do that down in the back where I didn't add a tail before since I've been regretting that choice.

First layer. Playing with the composition.

One of the most difficult aspects of this dress was the collar. I originally thought I could make the collar by interfacing it with an extra-heavy interfacing: hah!

The weight of the dress pulls fabric right out of shape, even with fusible interfacing AND extra-heavy non-woven interfacing.

What finally worked is TWO layers of extra heavy interfacing, on cut with the grain vertical vs. gravity, on with the grain parallel to the edges. Thu upper layer is interfaces with a fusible.

The front and back pieces are sewn together with a wide zig-zag (gosh, I love my industrial Pfaff!), and the edges are reinforces with millinery wire.

new stitching in progress. because everyone needs more naked ladies.

she didnt stay nude. it was too distracting and seemed to be the only thing people noticed when they saw it in the studio.
